SP2 DCOM COM+ Activation problem with Window 2000

[Ronnie Turrentine]

I have COM+ application that has been working fine with various
server/client configs.

After installing SP2, I am having some problems when the Windows XP SP2
client tries to connect to a Windows 2000 server. It works fine when
connecting to Windows 2003 server. I've turned the firewall off to
eliminate that. Here is error in the event log.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10016
Date: 9/8/2004
Time: 5:12:26 PM
User: DOMAIN\user
Computer: XPwithSP2
Description:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation
permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{B3383AA6-3531-4048-863A-F3E0EC365EA5}
to the user DOMAIN\user SID
(S-1-5-21-1085031214-1229272821-682003330-2021). This security permission
can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Any ideas on what to do? Does something need to be changed on the server
when exporting the application proxy for a Win2k server to work with XP SP2
client?

Thanks
Ronnie

Hi

I suggest you read the DCOM chapter in the document
02_CIF_Network_Protection.DOC downloadable from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7bd948d7-b791-40b6-8364-685b84158c78&DisplayLang=en

Note: WinXPSP2_Documentation.zip contains all the .doc downloads...

This one might be the same as in the document
02_CIF_Network_Protection.DOC:

The "Anonymous DCOM and SP2" blog entry at
http://blogs.tonygoodhew.com/xpsp2 might apply as well...

Ok I read that but it seems to talk more about when XP SP2 is on the COM
server side. This is not the case for me. My DCOM server is on Windows 2000
Server. My client trying to access it is on XP SP2. I've turned the
firewall off and it didn't help. If I connect to a Windows 2003 Server, it
works.

BTW, the COM+ server application is deployed using an application proxy if
that matters. This means I do not have an application on the XP SP2 client
in the DCOM config for component services to set. The settings are
controlled by the app proxy?

Thanks for any help.
